RICE PUDDING
Ingredients (cup measures are for the rice measuring cup 4-6 servings)
2 cups arborio rice or short-grain rice (you can also use long grain rice if you don’t have short grain)
2 cups cold water
1/2 cup evaporated milk
1/2 cup coconut milk
1 cup sweetened condensed milk
1 cinnamon stick or pinch of ground cinnamon
1 lemon zest, one large piece of lemon peel
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg (or less if you prefer)
3 tablespoons ground cinnamon (to garnish)
Directions
1. Measure your short grain rice with the measuring cup you got with your rice cooker. For this recipe you need to
start with two of those measures.
2. Measure first the rice then rinse rice in cold water, and place rice and water into the rice cooker, choose the
‘REGULAR’ rice setting and start the cooking cycle. Cook until it clicks automatically to keep warm.
3. Meanwhile whisk evaporated milk, coconut milk, sweetened condensed milk, cinnamon stick (or ground
cinnamon), lemon zest (a large thin slice of zest, not grated) and nutmeg together.
4. When rice has been cooked and the rice cooker has switched to warm, disconnect the cord from outlet, stir once
and let the cooked rice cool for 15 minutes.
5. Then add the whisked milks into the rice, close lid and set the cooker to the ‘KEEP WARM’ setting. Check about 30
minutes later and see if it is at the consistency you like. Alternatively, you can use the ‘STEAM’ function to speed this
process up. We find using the STEAM function thickens the rice/milk mixture to a nice thickness.
6. Discard the cinnamon stick (if using) and the lemon zest.
7. Place into individual dishes and garnish with ground cinnamon and cream if desired.
